Capsule Comments by Ernie Miatello We hear about stem cells as being the cure for so many maladies in the future. It seems that researchers are growing stem cells for injection into the sphincter muscles of the urethra to help prevent incontinence. After checking the patients in one year, 80 per cent were cured of their incontinence. Not available yet to the public. We've been mentioning that inhaled insulin would soon be available after all the research was done. It's now available in Canada and is as effective as the injected form of insulin. If people are tolerating the injectable insulin and getting good glucose control, there's no need to change to the inhaled form. Food for thought The World Health Organization reported that Romania has the highest abortion rate of all European Union countries. In 2004, there were 883 abortions for every 1000 births in the country. There is a low use of birth control pills in women of child-bearing age in Romania. Medications will do their job if they are taken correctly. Often, due to the large number of medications and age, some people have trouble remembering to take their medications. There are solutions to this problem. Our pharmacists will be happy to show them to you. Huron Apothecary Ltd. 1•n•s Phone 235-1982, 440 Main St. Exeter PHARM ASSIST"••� "YOUR HEALTH CARE PHARMACY" ,5
